[hail2mich]

Jackson with a double. Very nice

[IdahoBert]

Was a 7 pitch at bat

[cmu97]

So who gets the credit for Jackson's hot start? Mclendon?
and more importantly, can he sustain it?

[EchO]

Jackson is making Beckett work and it's a double with one out! Whoa!

Absolutely awesome to see him come out with a hot start.

[Gehringer_2]

So does anyone else think Jackson should tag on a ball that long? If the ball isn't caught with his speed isn't he going to coast home from 2nd anyway?

[hail2mich]

Fister is leaving. Well crap.

[djb6]

What is going on with Fister right now?

[monkeynuts]

Ugh...not good...Fister leaving early...possible side injury...

[pyrotigers]

Welp, should have brought back Brad Penny

[monkeynuts]

Duane Below in.

[Jeff6851]

Well, hope Below can hold them down

[Just Some Dude]

Looked like he strained something, hopefully it doesn't cause him to miss a start.

Lets also hope Below has some good stuff today, lot of lefties in the lineup but still..

[jackson_cannery]

Blah! Take Fister out for any length of time, and this rotation suddenly looks very spotty.

[IdahoBert]

God hates the Tigers. Ask Laird.

[mr0zip0]

Cramp?

[monkeynuts]

Cramp?

...no...looking like a severed scrotum.

You couldn't really tell on the broadcast, but my guess is he took off thinking it was a HR or going to be off the wall, and then had to come back to the bag when it was questionable.

[IdahoBert]

[EchO]

I would love to tack on some runs here to give Below and the bullpen a little more wiggle room.

[mr0zip0]

I always knew you were an ***.

[Just Some Dude]

He should of setup to tag there. It was either a HR, off the wall, or caught.

[IdahoBert]

Fielder with a home run!

[Chopper]

Boom!

[hail2mich]

Prince!!!

[EchO]

I would love to tack on some runs here to give Below and the bullpen a little more wiggle room.

Thank you.

[Just Some Dude]

Fielder with his first HR as a Tiger!!

[Jeff6851]

This Fielder guy might be good

[PuNk42AE]

Delmon actually had some wheels on that play

[IdahoBert]

Avila homers! 5-0.

[hail2mich]

Avila!!! Suck on that Beckett

[Chopper]

Yes baby. There is the offense!

[EchO]

This team might be be pretty good this year.

[Just Some Dude]

JUGGERNAUT

[IdahoBert]

I hope it's a blister. That's better than an oblique, I would suppose.

[jackson_cannery]

Blah! Take Fister out for any length of time, and this rotation suddenly looks very spotty.

And yet, that may not matter one bit. :)

[Just Some Dude]

I hope it's a blister. That's better than an oblique, I would suppose.

He was grabbing lower than an oblique, from what I saw it was just above his hip but we'll see.

[The Truman Show]

Double dose of oppo zoppo in this inning.

[Antrat]

As if we haven't seen this commercial 8 billion times.
But Kate is always fun to look at.

[IdahoBert]

Anyone have an in with the Devil to get Fister back up to speed quickly? I'm willing to try anything.

[Ingefanclub]

Beckett picking the wrong day to struggle.
The Tigers will need to keep the Red Sox down for 5 more innings but will be easier with the 5-0 lead now.
